Estonian Postal History
- Catalogue of USSR Illustrated Postal Stationery Covers with Estonian Topics. Those covers were very common in the USSR and retailing at just one kopeck above the face value of the imprinted stamp, they were a real bargain. Between 1954 and 1991 the Soviet Ministry of Communications issued some 330 covers with topics from Estonia. Not much when you consider that approximately 22.000 different covers were issued from 1953 and up to the end of the USSR!
